One of a kind. The beginning was slow, but by the second act i could not put this down. Would love to pick this up for a second closer reading and analysis. Mindblowing novel that i wish i could erase from
my brain so i can read this again.

Some spoiler thoughts below:
I loved the exploration of madness/insanity, of the two identities of the protagonist, and how we see the other world vs the real world (which is which?)
